I mean, yes PC GAMER, if memory prices go up all things that use memory will cost more.
This happened before btw, the Asian economy crisis of 1997 was followed by a bunch of supply problems some of which were due to natural disasters. I think it took like three years for RAM prices to drop, it's part of what killed RDRAM because those modules were way too expensive to the point Intel had to abandon it for DDR or Athlon would have completely murdered Pentium. Intel was giving away RDRAM modules with the Pentium 4's because nobody would want to buy them.
